In quest of a Pangram (1):

The pangram problem

Some years ago, a Dutch news paper, the
Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant, carried an
astunishing translation of a rather tonguein-cheek
sentence of mine that had previously
appeared in one of Douglas Hofstadter's
Scientific American columns
("Melamagical Themas", January 1982).
Both the translation and an article describing
its genesis were by Rudy Kousbroek, a
well-known writer and journalist in Holland.
